During one of his many jaunts around the mainland, theguestroom.org correspondent NewChinaHand has decided to withdraw from civilised society.

Stepping into the breach is a new blog we’d like to introduce today. LionRockNews is a sideways glance at the hottest issues in Hong Kong, in the timeless comedic style of the Onion or the Daily Mash.
